' Application filed May e, 1908. Serial No. 431,255.

at Erie, in the county of Erie and State oflcnnsylvunin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Socket-Supports for Electric SadJrons'; and 1 do herey declare the followingto be a full, clear. and exactdescr ption of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in. the a1:t to

which it appcrtains tonmkehnd 'use'the same, reference being had tO-tllfi'HUGH-111N111):-

I forming"pertioi this spot-.1 fication.

My invention relates to socket apparatus for electricsod-irons mnl has for its object the providing of mechanism on the socket,-

and upon the sad-iron handle adapted to be engaged whenthe. socket is put in plocc'on' the sud-iron, whereby the upper end otthe socket is firmly supported agtiinst lateral movement.

The features of my invention are hereinafter fully set forth and described, and illustrated in the accompanyir g drawings, in which:

Figure l'is a vi ew in elevation of ahelectric sad-iron embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view in elevation ofe portion of an electric sad-iron showing the socket being attached thereto. Fig. 3 1s aside view in'ele vationof the sad-iron handle showing a hook thereon. {Fi 4 is a top OIPIHJLVIGW ofthe electric soc et, showingo perforated lugthereon adapted toslip over the hook on the sad-iron handle. Fig. 5 is a rear end view of the sad-iron showing the electric terminals with which the socket. engages.

In thesedrawings A is the body of the sud-iron, B B the handle supiorts, U the hondle, D the electric heater, (1 the electric terminals connecting therewith, and E the socket, all of which are of usual and or-- dinary construction. On the handle sup ort B under the nut b securing the handle to the handle support B, I places washer F having an upwardly projecting hook f thereon, and on the upper part of the socket E, I

secure a projection H having an opening lo ft-herein, adapted to slip over the hook'f as" the socket-E is'put in place and thus firmly support the upper end of the socket E froui any lateral movement. It is obvious that if (.lcsi-red I can secure the hook to the socket MA'lTIiEW GRISWOLD, JR., or ERIE, PEN nsYLvAivm, itsslcivon TO. GENERAL ELECTRIC GOM- and make the projection on the washer'F socket'wit equal facility.

Inoperution theslipping of the socket E down upon the socket-terminals '(l (l operates to snrmltaneously engage the projection H with the hook f.

Having thus described my invention so. as to enable others to construct and utilizethc some, what I-cla-ini as new and desireto see cure by Letters-Patent is In an electric sud-iron, a hundle,-n hook on one of the handle supports, electric connecting studs on said iron, on electric coin notation socket adapted to engage the 0011-;

j with an opening to engage the hook on'the nection studs on the sad-iron, and u perforated lug on said connection socket adopted to engage thehook on the handle support. substantially as set'forth.

In testimony whereof I nfiix any siguut-ure,

in presence of two witnesses.
